## Readme

# x402 Payment Protocol

Use the `npx awal@2.0.3 x402` commands to discover, inspect, and call paid API endpoints using the X402 payment protocol. Payments are made in USDC on Base.

## Workflow

The typical x402 workflow is:

1. **Find a service** - Search the bazaar or get details for a known endpoint
2. **Check requirements** - Inspect price, method, and input schema
3. **Make the request** - Call the endpoint with automatic USDC payment

## Commands

### Search the Bazaar

Find paid services by keyword using BM25 relevance search:

```bash
npx awal@2.0.3 x402 bazaar search <query> [-k <n>] [--force-refresh] [--json]
```

| Option            | Description                          |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `-k, --top <n>`   | Number of results (default: 5)       |
| `--force-refresh` | Re-fetch resource index from CDP API |
| `--json`          | Output as JSON                       |

Results are cached locally at `~/.config/awal/bazaar/` and auto-refresh after 12 hours.

### List Bazaar Resources

Browse all available resources:

```bash
awal x402 bazaar list [--network <network>] [--full] [--json]
```

| Option             | Description                             |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------- |
| `--network <name>` | Filter by network (base, base-sepolia)  |
| `--full`           | Show complete details including schemas |
| `--json`           | Output as JSON                          |

### Discover Payment Requirements

Inspect an endpoint's x402 payment requirements without paying:

```bash
awal x402 details <url> [--json]
```

Auto-detects the correct HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH) by trying each until it gets a 402 response, then displays price, accepted payment schemes, network, and input/output schemas.

### Make a Paid Request

Call an x402 endpoint with automatic USDC payment:

```bash
awal x402 pay <url> [-X <method>] [-d <json>] [-q <params>] [-h <json>] [--max-amount <n>] [--json]
```

| Option                  | Description                                        |
| ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `-X, --method <method>` | HTTP method (default: GET)                         |
| `-d, --data <json>`     | Request body as JSON string                        |
| `-q, --query <params>`  | Query parameters as JSON string                    |
| `-h, --headers <json>`  | Custom HTTP headers as JSON string                 |
| `--max-amount <amount>` | Max payment in USDC atomic units (1000000 = $1.00) |
| `--correlation-id <id>` | Group related operations                           |
| `--json`                | Output as JSON                                     |

## Examples

```bash
# Search for weather-related paid APIs
awal x402 bazaar search "weather"

# Search with more results
awal x402 bazaar search "sentiment analysis" -k 10

# Check what an endpoint costs
awal x402 details https://example.com/api/weather

# Make a GET request (auto-pays)
awal x402 pay https://example.com/api/weather

# Make a POST request with body
awal x402 pay https://example.com/api/sentiment -X POST -d '{"text": "I love this product"}'

# Limit max payment to $0.10
awal x402 pay https://example.com/api/data --max-amount 100000

# Browse all bazaar resources with full details
awal x402 bazaar list --full
```

## USDC Amounts

X402 uses USDC atomic units (6 decimals):

| Atomic Units | USD   |
| ------------ | ----- |
| 1000000      | $1.00 |
| 100000       | $0.10 |
| 50000        | $0.05 |
| 10000        | $0.01 |

## Prerequisites

- **Search/Details**: No authentication needed
- **Pay**: Must be authenticated (`awal auth login <email>`) with sufficient USDC balance (`awal balance`)

## Error Handling

- "Not authenticated" - Run `awal auth login <email>` first
- "No X402 payment requirements found" - URL may not be an x402 endpoint
- "CDP API returned 429" - Rate limited; cached data will be used if available
- "Insufficient balance" - Fund wallet with USDC (`awal balance` to check)
